I asked somebody who had a eg with sunroof and he said that it could be that its not aligned properly. When my eg comes out in 2 weeks I am going to bring it to my body guy and ask him to check it out!

Not sure if lubing helps. But I've lubed the tracks on mine, and it works better. When I was first checking the car out, I used to have to give it a hand almost every time I tried to open it. Now it usually opens by itself (occasionally I still have to help it out a bit though.)

Clean your tracks, check for broken plastic pieces (that guide the glass upward)
If that doesnt work, motor could be dead

Use silicone spray or white lithium grease. Works like a charm.
